What a summer we have had. I can't believe that it is September already. We have kept ourselves pretty busy but we also make sure that we get plenty of playing in. We have gone to family reunions and have had a blast at everyone. The Hurst family reunion was at Indian Springs and we had a really good time swimming and visiting with everyone. Then the Hatt family reunion was at Steadman's. Doug took Addison down the water slide a lot. She really liked it at first but as the day went on she wasn't as thrilled with it but she never cried going down but she wasn't thrilled getting on the tube at the top. Her and Porter got Grandpa to go Porter jumped on the tube willingly and Jason grabbed Addison to put her on but it turns out that Porter is the one that cried all the way down. It was pretty cute and I wish I had a picture of that but I only got two the whole day (in reality I was too busy playing to take pictures.)

We also went on our first family camping trip at City of Rocks. On the way there, there is a haystack that they made to look like a minion, I thought it was so cute so I made Doug stop so we could take a picture.

 It was raining when we got there so Doug and I set up camp while the girls sat in the car warm and dry. It quit raining but we were all pretty wet by the time we went to bed.

Addi was freezing but shed all her clothes anyway. She was pretty cute running around the tent shivering with no pants on.

I thought we had escaped the night with no wild animals getting in the tent but when I opened my eyes I found these two.

haha get it they are in cheetah and zebra jammies :) any ways enough of my lame jokes. We went on hikes and played on the rocks and just had a really good time being together as a family.

We also had a really big rain storm one day. The gutters couldn't keep up with all the water that had dumped in such a short amount of time so there was a little river right outside our door. I let Addi go play in it because how often do you get to say you get to do something like that.

We also went to the magic valley folk festival Poland and Peru came, and because Levi is in Peru we just had to ask to take a picture with the Peru team.

The girls and I have gone to visit my family in Shelley while Doug has been at camp with the scouts a few times this summer. We have had fun with cousins and its always fun to take pictures of the babies that are only a couple months apart.

Yes Macy was bigger when she was born but O boy has Cohen grown, he now weighs more than Macy. Addison and Pyper have also gotten to play together a lot lately. They do pretty good together unless they take each others baby then there is trouble.

Well we have had a great summer and I don't think it is over yet. One of my favorite parts about summer is working out in the yard. We don't get around to it often enough but it is something that we all enjoy, even the girls help.

I am so blessed with my family. Two beautiful healthy little girls and a wonderful husband that does so much to take care of our family. I am so grateful for the love that we have for each other and the joy that they bring to me every single day.
